One of the oldest methods is interrogation, a method in which the police question people who might have committed the crime or who might have information about the crime. Inter
44、rogation can help the police to establish many basic facts, but modern techniques for solving crime include more complex scientific methods. Let me talk first about a system often called “crime hotlines“. In some cases, where law enforcement personnel have difficulty finding a criminal, they turn to
45、 private citizens for help in solving a crime. This system allows people to make a phone call or access a website and give information to the police anonymously. This can often be effective when people are afraid to give information in public. Sometimes, a family member may have committed the crime,
46、 and another family member finally decides to call the police and give the information they have. Second, fingerprinting. Each persons finger print is unique.

However, the technique is controversial because it involves issues of privacy. Finally, let me discuss DNA Of the most recent crime-solving techniques used, DNA is proving very effective. Each person, with the exception of identical twins, has a unique DNA coding system. So, if crim
